i I j dispensers, respectively Methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) was detected at concentrations up to 28 and 18 mg/kg in the soil samples collected beneath the USTs and dispensers, respectively Approximately 400 cubic yards of soil excavated during UST and associated pipeline removal were disposed of off-site at a licensed landfill GHH Engineering estimated the mass of residual gasoline at the site to be approximately 163 gallons based on information 1n a Request for No Further Action report dated February 2000 GHH Engineering performed quarterly groundwater monitoring and sampling from July 1997 to September 2002 The historical groundwater gradient direction has ranged from northeast to the southeast GROUNDWATER MONITORING Water levels were measured in wells MW-1P through MW-6P, MW-1, and MW-2 on May 11, 2005 The locations of the monitoring wells are shown on Figure 2 Depth to water levels ranged from 62 42 to 63 50 feet below the tops of the well casings, representing an average increase in groundwater elevation of 1 07 feet since the previous quarter The water level data were used to develop the groundwater elevation contour map (Figure 3) The average hydraulic gradient on May 11, 2005, was calculated to be 0 0016 ft/ft or approximately 8 4 ft/mile, and generally flowed towards the south A summary of groundwater monitoring data is presented in Table 1 . SAMPLING ACTIVITIES On May 11, 2005, ATC personnel collected groundwater samples from monitoring wells MW-1P through MW-6P, MW-1, and MW-2 Prior to collection of groundwater samples, the depth to water was measured in the wells and the pH, electrical conductivity, and temperature were measured in the groundwater purged from the monitoring wells and recorded Aquifer parameters were allowed to stabilize and a minimum of three well casing volumes were purged from each well prior to sampling The wells were allowed to recover and samples were collected from each well using dedicated disposable bailers Purged well water was contained on site in DOT approved 55-gallon drums for disposal pending receipt of laboratory results The groundwater samples collected from each well were submitted to Argon Laboratories, a state- certified analytical laboratory (Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program Certificate No 2359) located in Ceres, California, for analyses Laboratory analyses consisted of TPHg utilizing EPA Method 8015M, BTEX utilizing EPA Method 802113, and oxygenate fuel additives MTBE, ethyl tertiary butyl ether (ETBE), dt-isopropyl ether (DIPE), tertiary butyl alcohol (TBA), tertiary amyl ether (TAME), 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCA), and 1,2-dibromoethane (EDB) utilizing EPA Method 8260B Groundwater well purge and sample logs are contained in Attachment I ANALYTICAL RESULTS TPHg was detected in samples collected from wells MW-1P, MW-2P, MW-3P, MW-1, and MW-2 at concentrations of 150 micrograms per liter (pg/l), 610 µg/1, 140 µg I, 580 pg/l, and 86 µg/l, respectively Benzene and xyelenes were detected in the sample collected from MW-2P at s lenvironmentai12591210003-5tocktonlQuartlyl2QR-2005 doc 2
